Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-11"> In the title compound, C <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 36 </span> H <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 30 </span> NP <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 2+ </span> &middot;BF <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 4&minus; </span> &middot;CHCl <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 3 </span> &nbsp;or [PPN]BF <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 4 </span> &middot;CHCl <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 3 </span> , where [PPN] = [(Ph <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 3 </span> P) <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 2 </span> N] <span style="font-size: 9px;"> + </span> , two tri&shy;phenyl&shy;phosphine units are attached to a central N atom. The P&mdash;N&mdash;P bond angle is 137.69&emsp14;(11)&deg;. The two P&mdash;N bonds are nearly equivalent, with lengths of 1.5834&emsp14;(18) and 1.5798&emsp14;(17)&emsp14;&Aring;. Both the BF <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 4&minus; </span> &nbsp;anion and the chloro&shy;form solvent mol&shy;ecule are disordered over two positions, with occupancy ratios of 0.872&emsp14;(3):0.128&emsp14;(3) and 0.9628&emsp14;(9):0.0372&emsp14;(9), respectively. In the crystal, C&mdash;H&ctdot;F and C&mdash;H&ctdot;Cl hydrogen bonds link the [PPN] <span style="font-size: 9px;"> + </span> &nbsp;cations, the BF <span style="font-size: 9px;"> 4&minus; </span> &nbsp;anions, and the chloro&shy;form solvent mol&shy;ecules into an array which extends along the&nbsp; <i> b </i> -axis direction.</div><div class="line" id="line-41"> <br/></div><div class="line" id="line-43"> <br/></div>
